Only seven mixed teams started with the event won by the British pair of Derek Talbot and Gillian Gilks. They would win the All-England title in 1973 and 1976-77. Gilks also won that title in 1969, as Gillian Perrin, and alongside Roger Mills, and in 1982 and 1984, alongside Martin Dew. She was also a 12-time European Champion between 1972-86, including winning the triple of singles, doubles, and mixed in 1974 and 1976. Talbott was also a four-time European Champion, and four-time gold medalist at the Commonwealth Games, but won most of his titles alongside Gilks.
